A rule of thumb that I have gleaned from
lots of experience and study is that 24-bit/48KHz quantization is
indistinguishable, audibly, from bit-depths higher than 24-bit or from
sampling rates higher than 48 KHz. Nobody's hearing is good enough to
distinguish any theoretical or practical advantage to frequency responses
that go much above 22KHz, or dynamic ranges that exceed 120 dB.
I can't actually hear any difference. At my age I am lucky to hear
anything over about 10Khz.
What I have noticed is less fatigue. This is totally subjective and
probably can't be measured. It is the difference between wanting to
listen to music all day and feeling forced to turn it off after a couple
of hours. Some people may not even notice it.
